📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Kooperativet Fjället is an NGO located in Angered that is a suburb of Gothenburg. Our goal is to create a meaningful leisure time together with yoths. During the evenings we have activities, and all the activities are based on the youths own wills and needs. Our main target is youths aged 13 up to 20 years. Our opening hours are Monday to Saturday between 17-22. Kooperartivet Fjället was founded in 1992 and our main target has always been youths, but now more we try in various ways to work with the entire area and we want to involve all residents in the local area so that we, together with them can contribute to a better area. Our international work is also very important to us and we put a lot of focus on it. We are four employees, three working full time and one part time.

💼 What the programme involves

Kooperativet Fjället is an NGO that runs leisure activities for young people aged 10-20 years old in Rannebergen, Gothenburg Sweden. The youth activities are based on young people's participation and influence. At the youth centre we host 2 volunteers from different countries that will work together. The volunteers may initiate own projects/activities according to abilities and preferences and develop this together with the young people in the youth center. It may be sports, cultural, crafts activities, theatre, music or other. Volunteers will also be working in the regular activities such as card games, ping-pong, basket, baking, handicrafts as well as camps and excursions. Volunteers will also work to disseminate information on EU-opportunities for young people and young adults. The volunteers also support the sending of young adults to volunteer projects. More info on www.fjallet.org and the volunteer blog; www.fjallet.org/volontarbloggen/ and our Instagram: kooperativetfjallet

ℹ️ Additional information

Volunteers will receive a bus card that allows travel within the whole of Gothenburg including boats to archipelago. Accommodation, local transport, international travel, visa is covered by the European Solidarity Corps program.

The volunteers attend the On-arrival training and Mid-term training, which are held in Stockholm by the Swedish National Agency. We encourage the volunteers to stay over the weekend in Stockholm at own cost in conjunction with these trainings. The volunteers will receive Swedish language classes which is part of the work hours. The volunteers are also invited to various training opportunities within the KEKS network when such opportunities are given. We always encourage and promote contact and networking with volunteers in Sweden.

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
